Equipment

  • Pie plate 9 or 10 inch
  • Pie crust cover or aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pie crust, prepared (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 15 oz. Pure Pumpkin puree, can
  • 3 eggs plus 1 egg white for egg wash
  • 1 12 oz. evaporated milk, can (or 1 ½ cups light cream)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 2 tsp orange peel, grated
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp ginger, ground
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare pie plate by spraying the pie plate with spray oil or dampening a cloth or paper towel with oil and wipe the inside of the pie plate to coat.
  • Roll out pie crust dough on floured surface. Then place in bottom of prepared pie plate and mold to fit with about 1 inch overlapping edges. Pinch the dough edges making a V-shaped decorative wave pattern, or use a fork to make crimp edges. 
  • In a large mixing bowl: whisk to combine pumpkin puree, 3 eggs, honey and evaporated milk. 
  • In a smaller mixing bowl: combine sugar, orange peel, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. 
  • Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Pour into prepared pie plate. 
  • Cover edges of pie with foil or a purchased pie crust cover to help the crust from becoming too brown or burning. 
  • Place pie in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Removing the crust cover after 35 minutes. 
  • After removing pie crust cover and placing back in the oven, make the egg white wash. Do this by removing the yolk from one egg. Add 1 tsp of water to the egg white in a small bowl and beat slightly with a fork. This will give the crust a nice shine. **
  • Remove pie from the oven. Increase oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Brush the crust with egg white wash. Place back in the oven and bake an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven.
  • Let cool about 1 hour. Then serve and enjoy!

Notes

**Note - Brushing the pie crust with an egg wash adds a nice shine and enhance the golden color of the crust. However, this step is not necessary and can be skipped. Just keep the pie in for 50 minutes versus the 45 minutes.
